Sen. Ted Cruz told Jesse Watters Primetime what millions of Americans already know: the Democratic Party has drifted from reason into a furious, fringe-driven ideology that tolerates — and sometimes encourages — lawlessness. Cruz’s blunt assessment on Watters reflected a larger conservative alarm that the left’s loudest voices have seized control of the party and pushed it into outright hostility toward law and order.
Cruz has repeatedly sounded the alarm about Antifa and violent left-wing mobs that hijack peaceful protests and target innocent citizens and businesses. He’s right to call for aggressive law-enforcement action and thorough investigations of violent cells that operate under the Antifa banner; this isn’t mere protest, it’s organized domestic terror.
On the national defense front Cruz praised President Trump’s pick for Defense Secretary as a needed change agent — someone willing to restore a warrior culture and prioritize combat readiness over woke ideology. Conservatives should cheer reforms that put mission-first standards back at the Pentagon and stop identity politics from hollowing out our fighting force.
Pete Hegseth has not been shy about shaking things up, using a rare meeting of senior generals to push stricter standards, cut woke programs, and emphasize traditional combat fitness — measures many in uniform say are overdue. Those moves have sparked predictable outrage from the left and the military bureaucracy, but restoring excellence and cohesion in the ranks is not optional when the world is growing more dangerous.
Critics warn Hegseth’s language and blunt approach risk politicizing the military, and the media predictably howled when he called out failures and fired underperforming leaders. Washington’s institutions often resist meaningful reform, so bold action rattles the comfortable — and that’s exactly why reformers like Hegseth and allies like Cruz are essential to preserving American strength.
At the same time, Washington’s failure to govern has delivered another avoidable crisis: a government shutdown now in effect because Democrats rejected commonsense, short-term funding while demanding politically charged concessions. Hardworking Americans shouldn’t be punished because coastal elites prefer headlines to compromise; Congress must protect our troops, our seniors, and essential services without surrendering to partisan theater.
Patriots should back leaders who defend the rule of law, strengthen our military, and refuse to bow to the tantrums of the left. Ted Cruz’s straight talk on Watters is a reminder that conservatives must keep fighting for common-sense sanity in policy and leadership — or watch America’s institutions continue to unravel.
